Description

o = "some object"

class << o
  private
  attr_accessor :a
end

# GETTER can be rescued in a begin-block or inline
begin   o.a     
rescue; $!.class        # => NoMethodError
end
o.a rescue $!.class     # => NoMethodError

# SETTER can be rescued in a begin-block but NOT inline!
begin   o.a = 1
rescue; $!.class        # => NoMethodError
end
o.a = 1 rescue $!.class

# ~> NoMethodError
# ~> private method `a=' called for "some object":String
# ~> Did you mean?  a
